brake light switch not depressing?

Hey, my name is Dusty, and I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team. I'm here to help! That's correct; it moves with the pedal, so orientation is critical. When the switch is oriented correctly and the brake pedal is depressed, pressure is applied to the lever that opens/closes the switch contacts. If the clip that secures the booster rod, brake pedal, and switch assembly together is questionable, replace it with a new one; if it falls off while driving, chaos will ensue. Several comprehensive videos on YouTube chronicle the process that could be of use as well, "2000 Chevy truck K2500 truck brake light switch replacement" will return multiple viable options to help guide you.
